Iran to Give Firm Response to Disruption of Shipment to Venezuela

Iran’s Defence Minister has warned the US that in case of harrassing the Iranian tankers en route to Venezuela, it will receive a decisive response from the Islamic Republic.

Brigadier General Amir Hatami said the Americans and others know Iran will certainly not hesitate to respond in this regard.

“Disrupting the navigation of tankers is against international rules and security, and international organisations are sensitive to the rules and safety of waterways,” he said in a weekly cabinet session.

Hatami said this is a kind of piracy and Iran’s policy is very clear.

Tehran has announced very clearly that it will not tolerate any provocation.
